Name That Plant!

Shrub/Small Tree ID Needed

13 years ago

Last fall, here in Quebec around the end of September I went to a neighbor's yard who was giving away some daylilies. I spotted a tree-like shrub (almost apple-tree in appearance), and it was in bloom. The blooms as I recall were almost magnolia-like. I was amazed, but sadly I forgot what she told me it was. Any ideas? Can anyone help?? Sorry I do not have a photo.

Twist my arm and make me choose and threaten me with (gulp) store bought syrup for the rest of my life, i'd say the trees are crabs. Although i'd not be surprised should they turn out to be anything else. Why do you ask?

agree .... subject to a leaf pic or two .. in the future ... that could be 'renovated'.. and turned into a very nice shrub.. over the next few years ... you could start this season .... by removing the grass and weeds.. and adding a 3 or 4 foot circle of mulch around it ... probably make mowing easier ... and keep the weedwhip away ... ken ps: there is a shrub forum ... whatever .. same peeps ... but if you decide to prune or renovate.. refer to shrub pruning ... not tree pruning ...
